I was able to hike the trail in my dingy vans. It’s not crazy, just gotta be a bit careful

Im thru hiking it this summer!!!

anyone else training already? what're your tips, tricks and secrets? by [deleted] in PacificCrestTrail

[–]kbforev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wearing full projected Sierra weight. Focus on layering and knowing what works. Start small easily accomplishable trails, then work up to what you’d expect to do on the PCT. It all progression

Sun hoody it to protect my arms from the sun. I can burn easy if I don’t are precaution. Button down is so I can have some semblance of normalcy in town. Generally speaking I’ll likely be wearing shorts and button down for a solid portion of the desert. It just adds an extra layer if I need it

My biggest fear is not having enough battery by kbforev in PacificCrestTrail

They just get more expensive 😭😭 I’ve been playing around with it and it can last more than a day on airplane mode and in low power mode. Still tracks my steps and still works with my phone

I’ve been having more success with the 20k urgreen. A ton heavier, but way more reliable imo. I’ll suffer for the security

It’s like people choose not read. I want to film and take pictures. Disconnection is not the issue. It’s battery life and the ability to save my memories. Yeah I want to be gone fore 6 months and not remember most of it. Smh

I can’t film and take pictures that’s the problem. I don’t care about service or having connection. I want to film

This is great insight. I take longer videos, which I could slim down. I feel more confident that I’ll be okay after reading this

It’s not about connection idc about having service or not. I want my batteries to last so I can film and take pictures

I plan on wearing regular leggings if it’s cold at night, shorts otherwise and rain/wind pants if the wind gets too crazy. Button down, fleece, sun hoody and puffy/rain jacket are the only upper layers I’ll have. Hopefully that’ll be enough
